Expected results: external drive should be unmountable, as i closed the file in the gimp program Additional info:
How exactly did you start gimp? Did you cd to the media drive, then launch it from the command line? Did you use your file manager (which one) to open this file with gimp?
Hi. I'm using XFCE and start gimp via the xfce-mouse-start-icon->graphic->GIMP. then in GIMP I do File->Open and then choose the (not yet mounted?) external drive and open the file. then I close the file again via File->Close.
Hmm, I checked that with a freshly started GIMP instance and found that I could umount my external drive just well. Can you reproduce this? Did you have another GIMP instance running at the point when you clicked xfce-mouse-start-icon->graphic->GIMP? In this case it wouldn't have started a new process, but let the existing process (which might have had its working directory on your external drive, thus preventing it to be umounted) open a new window.
Sorry, i'm unable to reproduce this. now it seems to work! strange. sorry for the noise.
